The aircraft history includes three years in Vietnam and eight years with the Air National Guard. In the mid 1990s the plane was disassembled and placed in a swampy field. In November 2004 members of the museum transported the F-100D to MAPS. Restoration began in June 2005 with Ken Ramsey as crew chief.

MAPS will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. for viewing. Adults are $8, seniors are $7, children 6-12 are $5, and those under 6 are free.
